Chapter Summaries

After Shrek’s defeat, Tang San explained the Tang-Elimination Squad’s advantages and tried to rally his teammates, while hiding his true reason for not seeking his father’s help. As Shrek left the arena, Lu Qibin revealed that Spirit Hall had captured Zhao Wuji and that the same powerful group had badly injured Li Yusong.

• Yu Xiaogang blamed Shrek’s loss on the Tang-Elimination Squad’s surprise Clear Sky Hammers and matchup advantages, then voiced concern about the squad’s young Soul Elders and powerful Soul Ring configurations.
• Tang San suggested that Soul Bones could explain the squad’s physical strength and fast cultivation, and warned that absorbing ten-thousand-year Soul Rings would require strong Mental Power.
• Oscar and Chang Gong Miao asked whether Tang San could recover his Eight Spider Lances, but Tang San said his father’s intervention could cause trouble for the Clear Sky Sect while concealing his real motive.
• Tang San urged the injured Shrek students to recover and win future battles, then Xiao Wu carried him back toward the inn with the others.
• Lu Qibin rushed to Shrek outside the arena and reported that Spirit Hall had taken Zhao Wuji near noon; he said the blonde woman had subdued Zhao in Martial Soul Avatar, while the seven children had injured Li Yusong.

Shrek Academy realized the Tang-Elimination Squad had defeated its students and captured Zhao Wuji, while Yu Xiaogang suspected the squad’s leaders were the Pope’s daughters. Tang San decided to contact Tang Hao not to rescue Zhao Wuji, but to recover his External Soul Bone and target the women and the squad.

• Shrek Academy blamed Lu Qibin for withholding information about the Tang-Elimination Squad, and Lu Qibin admitted he had avoided paying to enter the match.
• Xiao Wu argued that the squad’s leaders were unlikely to be Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, but Flender noted that they had subdued Zhao Wuji too easily for ordinary Soul Saints.
• Yu Xiaogang guessed that the leaders were Qin Xuan’s daughters and explained that high-ranking Soul Masters could look much younger than their actual age.
• Flender asked whether Zhao Wuji could be rescued, but Tang San said they did not know where he was held and Tang Hao could not arrive in time.
• Tang San contacted Tang Hao that night to reclaim his External Soul Bone and eliminate the two women and the Tang-Elimination Squad, while planning to have Chang Gong Miao killed by Spirit Hall later.

Qin Xuan revealed that Qin Rongrong had infiltrated Shrek Academy as a Spirit Hall agent, then sent Zhao Wuji to Cell Eleven of the Tube Building. Meanwhile, Shrek Academy was shut down after Flender lost his money betting on its team.

• Spirit Hall brought Zhao Wuji, with his Soul Power sealed, before Qin Xuan in the Papal Council Hall.

• Flender lost everything after betting on the Shrek Team, and Shao Xin and Li Yusong told him that Shrek Academy had been shut down.

After Shrek Academy was shut down under Spirit Hall's pressure, Yu Xiaogang persuaded Flender and the old guard to rebuild their path toward the tournament. Meanwhile, Tang Hao returned to Suotuo City after failing to find Immortal Herbs and learned Tang San had been mutilated by the Tang-Elimination Squad, but Tang San urged him not to retaliate recklessly.

• Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin told Flender that the Barrak Royal Family had sealed Shrek Academy after Spirit Hall accused it of harboring fugitives and harming young Soul Masters.
• Yu Xiaogang convinced Flender and the old guard to recruit students and seek Ning Fengzhi's help entering the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
• Tang Hao searched the continent for Immortal Herbs for three months without success, then returned to Suotuo City after Tang San contacted him.
• Tang Hao found Tang San bandaging his injured lower half and learned that the Tang-Elimination Squad had taken one of his bells and an External Soul Bone.
• Tang Hao prepared to confront the Tang-Elimination Squad, but Tang San warned that a public attack could expose them and endanger his mother and the Clear Sky Sect elders.

Tang San learned that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had been mutilated and vowed to destroy the Soul Master Guild, while Tang Hao blamed the guild for the loss of the Immortal Herbs. After the Tang-Elimination Squad earned its Golden Soul Fighter Badges and left Suotuo City, Tang Hao ambushed them but was instantly defeated by a golden phoenix emerging from their carriage.

• Tang Hao told Tang San that the Soul Master Guild had taken his manhood and Qin Xuan had taken Tang Xiao's, while hiding the brothers' real history with Qin Xuan.
• Tang San promised to destroy the Soul Master Guild and Spirit Hall, then suspected the guild had collected all the Immortal Herbs.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that Shrek had left, and ten days later the recovered Tang-Elimination Squad earned Golden Soul Fighter Badges and headed toward Spirit City.
• Tang Hao ambushed the squad on a remote forest road and attacked their carriage with his Clear Sky True Body.
• A golden phoenix burst from the carriage, and Tang Hao mistook it for Qin Xuan before the phoenix shattered his hammer form and blasted him several miles away.

Ayan defeated Tang Hao, severed his right arm, and took his Soul Bone before Asura God rescued him. She returned to the carriage and told Qian Renxue that Tang Hao had been empowered by divine power, while keeping her father’s plan to spare him secret.

• Tang Hao used Ring Explosion and divine power from Asura God to block Ayan’s giant sword, then mistook her for Qin Xuan’s daughter and attacked her.
• Ayan evaded Tang Hao’s strike, revealed herself as Qin Yan, and severed his right arm, taking the Soul Bone within it.
• As Ayan moved to cripple Tang Hao further, Asura God teleported him away and observed that she had reached Level-Ninety-Nine.
• Asura God decided to deny Qin Yan and Qin Xuan the chance to inherit a Godhood, then looked forward to Tang San defeating Spirit Hall.
• Ayan returned to the carriage and told Qian Renxue that Asura God had strengthened Tang Hao, while concealing that she had deliberately spared him.

Ayan rewarded Tian Yue with Tang Hao’s Soul Bone and promised the Tang-Elimination Squad major tournament rewards before sending them to train. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai’s strange behavior after Ayan’s psychological suggestion became clear when he began pursuing men at Shrek Academy and stealing their bells, leaving Yu Xiaogang as his latest target.

• Ayan gave Tian Yue Tang Hao’s over-seventy-thousand-year-old right arm Soul Bone as a reward and promised tournament prizes to the Tang-Elimination Squad.

• The Shrek Team defeated the Crazy Battle Team, with Tang San, Chang Gong Miao, and Dai Mubai standing out in the fight.
• Xiao Wu questioned why Chang Gong Miao and Dai Mubai had used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Dai Mubai claimed it was for the team.
• Dai Mubai clung to Yu Xiaogang and rubbed against him, while Shrek’s companions reacted with disgust after learning he had repeatedly stolen the bells of the men watching over him.

Chang Gong Miao’s second gift pack gave him a collection of Immortal Herbs, but Dai Mubai’s romantic fixation on men left him desperate to avoid further harassment. Yu Xiaogang then warned Shrek that the powerful Tang-Elimination Squad could become their greatest rivals at the tournament.

• Dai Mubai clung to Yu Xiaogang and insisted that he call him “Baibai,” while the others teased them.
• Chang Gong Miao recalled that Dai Mubai’s favorability had earned him an Immortal Herb Gift Pack, and that he had secretly given Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Xiao Wu and used Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen his Mental Power.
• Yu Xiaogang placated Dai Mubai and then showed Shrek information revealing that the Tang-Elimination Squad’s members had earned Golden Soul Fighter ranks and defeated Soul Ancestor teams.
• Oscar worried that Yue Mei’s immortal-grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul and Food System specialization could jeopardize his chance to inherit the Food God’s Godhood.

Tang San and the Shrek students waited for Tang Hao after he went to intercept the Tang-Elimination Squad, while Ma Hongjun urged Dai Mubai to prove he could resist his attraction to men. The test ended in chaos when Tang Hao arrived gravely wounded, leaving Tang San to discover that his father was near death and had fallen to level eighty-two.

• Tang San reassured Oscar that Tang Hao would intercept the Tang-Elimination Squad and promised Shrek would defeat them someday.
• The Shrek group returned to the inn, where Dai Mubai joined Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun to await news from Tang Hao.
• Tang San warned Dai Mubai that his behavior could prevent him from winning Zhu Zhuqing back, and Dai Mubai swore he would change.
• Ma Hongjun and Tang San tested Dai Mubai by having Oscar pretend to confess his feelings, but Dai Mubai grabbed Oscar and threw him onto the bed.
• Tang Hao collapsed into the room with his right arm severed and severe injuries, and Tang San discovered that his father’s Soul Power had fallen to level eighty-two and that he was close to death.

Tang San treated Tang Hao after Qin Yan defeated him, then learned that losing his Clear Sky Sect Legacy Soul Bone had cost him ten Soul Power Levels. Tang San dismissed Qin Yan’s chances of becoming a god, but Tang Hao coughed up blood and Tang San turned to Oscar for help.

• Tang San stopped Tang Hao’s bleeding and transferred his inner force and Soul Power to help him wake up.
• Tang Hao explained that an old injury and losing his right arm’s Clear Sky Sect Legacy Soul Bone had left his cultivation at Level-Ninety-Two before it fell by ten levels.
• Tang Hao told Tang San and Ma Hongjun that Qin Yan, a Peerless Douluo under twenty-four, had defeated him with the Everbright Sword and its Vermilion Bird.
• Tang San claimed Qin Yan could never become a god without the Asura God’s permission, and Ma Hongjun agreed that Spirit Hall’s struggle was futile.
• Tang Hao coughed up blood, so Tang San called for Oscar to make sausages, then went blank.

The Shrek Team prepared for its final Spirit Battle against the Imperial Fighting Team after earning Silver Soul Fighter status in seven days.
